Categories Comments Great for these types of students this college is great for those students who need a taste of the real world. this is a institution that teaches you that there's more to life then mom or dad's basement. and it is also great for those people who need seclusion from the world to focus on total life improvement. so if you are in need of a place to excel, wiley is for you.
Tips for prospective students be prepared for somewhat high levels of repetition among faculty members and administration. as well as having to constantly check on your affairs, and to maintain every record and document in case of a discrepancy in your files
Bang for the buck it is very much so worth it, and it is not difficult at all to receive a scholarship of some sort or financial aid. the facilities could use some major improvements, but the school is in the process of major improvement as i type.
Am enjoying being here i love being at wiley college. it is set in marshall texas, which is a small quiet town. so if you wanna get away from the hustle and bustle of the city. wiley is your college
Am learning a lot i am learning alot from the majority of my instructors. you just have to build a relationship with them to where you can easily communicate.

Categories Comments Campus Safety The safety regarding the campus is quite important to the Wiley College faculty and staff. There is always security patrolling and handling situations. No one is ever in danger!
Greek Life Greek life is a MAJOR thing on campus. On Wiley College Campus we have both Greek and Non-Greek Organizations. Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity Inc, Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority Inc, Delta Sigma Theta Sorority Inc, Kappa Alpha Psi Fraternity Inc, and Sigma Gamma Rho Sorority Inc are a few of the Greeks. A couple of the Non-Greek Organizations would be Alpha Angels Inc, Gamma Elite Community Service Sisterhood , Kappa Kourts Inc etc. I am a member of Alpha Angels Incorporated!
Clubs and Activities Wiley College has a host of GREAT clubs and activities that individuals participate in. A few would be there's an International Club for international students and for those wanting to learn about different cultures. Wiley has a Tourism and Hospitality Club, DEEP Soldiers Club it's basically a club regarding poets and spoken word . We also have two extremely important clubs which would be the Student Government Associations and the Student Union Advisory Board those clubs are those that deals with getting the permission to have certain events on campus. Those are just a few of the many on campus.
Great for these types of students Whether you are an International, an Out-of-State, or a resident of Marshall, TX Wiley College is great for ANYONE! Being here you learn to come together as one and you also learn about other cultures while learning about your school's history!
Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus During certain holidays the campus hosts events in relation to the celebration.
What to do for fun There are plenty of social activities/ events happening during the week and on weekends. During the weekends, there are parties, movie nights, game nights etc that are hosted by certain organizations.
Food and Dining The food & dining is pretty decent as well. The cafe serves food that represents the Food Guide Pyramid, encouraging those to eat healthy. The cafe, I believe can seat at least 1500 students. There's also a ballroom where students can sit, in case the cafeteria gets filled to capacity.
Dorm Life The dorms are pretty much decent. There is an all boys dorm, two dorms housing females ( one for freshmen girls and upper class/ athletics) In Spring 2012 a co-ed dormitory was being constructed.
Academic Rigor I have been at Wiley College for three years. I am a Criminal Justice major and I must say, based upon my OWN opinion the C.J. department actually prepares you for a career in Law Enforcement and that they are one of the MOST successful departments on campus!
Tips for prospective students Your college experience is based upon how you make it. Everything that you expect out of it is entirely based on the performance in which you act.
In three sentences Wiley College is the place to be. This is the opportunity to learn about your history while becoming apart of history! Everyone can succeed at Wiley College!

Categories Comments Great for these types of students The program is tailored toward working adults that have accumulated college credits.
Tips for prospective students Make arrangements to have transcripts sent in a timely manner if entering the Organizational Management Program. Also get General Education Courses completed prior to enrolling. The OMP curriculum is accelerated. Plan to attend with no breaks.
Bang for the buck Expensive but worth it if you qualify for financial aid.
Did enjoy being here Enjoyed the classes however the administration left a lot to be desired. Required repeating paperwork and constant follow-up.

Categories Comments Campus Safety Your safety while attending Wiley College is very dependent on who you associate with, and where you choose to go. The security is very poorly staffed, but as long as you stay with the parameters given to you by staff members you will for the most part be safe.
Greek Life There are a host of fraternities to join for both men and women. The fraternities primarily focus on togetherness, and scholarship. There is a small fee for membership, but it is money well spent for a lifetime of belonging to such a good group.
Clubs and Activities They have very successful basketball, volleyball, baseball, and soccer programs. There is no football team. Apart from sports the Wiley College debate team is excellent. The school is often times called Wiley college home of the great debators. There is a movie starring Denzel Washington called The Great Debators it is a damatic history of the debate team here at Wiley College.
Great for these types of students Wiley college is a historically black college, and it is great for students who may not have had a shot at higher education otherwise.
Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus All around the campus there are monuments to influential alumni of Wiley College. If you make a difference in the institution there is a good chance a monument will be erected in your name.
Bang for the buck Wiley College is very expensive. As far as the faculty goes you are getting a good value. The security, facilities, and technology are not at all what they should be for such a high price.
What to do for fun On-campus parties provide a good environment for socialization, and safe fun. Fashion shows and movie showings are also pretty frequent around the campus.
Food and Dining There is not a very big selection of food, but what is available is both healthy and tasteful.
Dorm Life A new dormitory complex has recently been added. The rooms are not large, but they are comfortable. Both the female, and male dorms are nice.
Academic Rigor As long as you concentrate on what's important, and come up with a strict study sceduale and stick to it you'll be fine. The faculty will be there for you if needed.
Tips for prospective students Stay focused on your work, and do not allow distractions to sidetrack you. Also, take heed when people tell you to not go certain places in the community.
In three sentences Wiley College is a decent college. The faculty is amazing, but the security is low. Students will leave the college well educated, but they may not leave there physically unscathed.
